Dates: 15 February to 31 May
Reason: Nesting Birds
2023 26th February update: The Ravens do not appear to be using the existing nest in Gardoms Unconquerable - however one more check will be made in case they are late starting, so please be observant and report any sightings if you are in the area.
In recent years a Tawny Owl has nested in the Layback Crack/Flake Crack.area - it is not known if they are present in 2023 but please keep your eyes and ears out if climbing in this area.
Rockfax Description
An excellent crack requiring a subtle blend of laybacking and jamming. Plenty of gear if you can hang about to place it. © Rockfax

βeta: Soloed it and didn't find it too off balance. Strenuous though, especially to place any gear. | βeta? | |
